Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said it can be difficult to get officers out on the roads at different times, depending on what is happening in the city.

“It actually is quite a large issue that we have,” she said.

The locations of the first five cameras were revealed Wednesday, which include the intersections of School and Division Streets, Cottage Street and Newport Avenue, Armistice Boulevard and Newport Avenue, Smithfield Avenue and Mineral Spring Avenue, and Main Street at Thurston Street and Lonsdale Avenue.

According to Pawtucket’s contract with the camera company, Sensys Gatso, the city will pay $2,500 per month per camera, plus $7.30 for each violation that’s issued.
